Grace’s Choice: Grandfather's Moving Letter To Daughter After She Disowns Her Gay Son

Grace says: This was an easy choice, without doubt my favourite story of the week was the touching letter composed by an endearing Grandfather. The letter addressed to his daughter, conveyed his disappointment and disgust at her actions, after throwing her young son out off the family home, disowning him for revealing he was gay.

The letter is passionate and powerful, and we just wish there were a lot more Grandfathers like this one. Hero.

Michelle’s Choice: Marty Raises the Banner

Michelle says: Croker last Saturday was one of the most enjoyable days of my life. In between the match and the obligatory Coppers visit, we headed home to watch The Sunday Game - the highlight of which was this clip of another legendary Clare man, Marty Morrissey, joining the Banner boys in the dressing room for a rousing rendition of My Lovely Rose of Clare. What a hero.

Sue’s Choice: What's The Story Morning Glory?

Sue says: My favourite story from this week was no doubt the Oasis quotes that Grace put together. I'm not the biggest fan of Oasis, but I do think they are absolutely hilarious. Some of these are just brilliant.

Rebecca’s Choice: A Very Special Friend

Rebecca says: Rebecca is still away on her holidays so she’s not saying a whole pile this week! That said, we know Rebecca is a sucker for a sweet animal story so she would have absolutely loved this story of a little boy with Down Syndrome and a Labrador who wouldn’t give up on being friends.

Úna’s Choice: Getting Your Geek On

Úna says: I was delighted when I saw that the official trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was released this year. As a diehard LOTR and general Tolkein fan, I’m very excited about the second instalment of the Peter Jackson trilogy!

Jackson’s movies may be long but he really does try his best to add in all the important details from the book which is something I feel that many directors let slide – I’m looking at you Marc Foster.

Cathy’s Choice: 10 Annoying Things People Do In The Kitchen

Cathy says: I quite enjoyed writing as there are some things people do in the kitchen that drive me around the bend. Leaving the milk out is a particular pet hate and as for tea bags in the sink. Why, just why!
